 Send the gas Manitoba Morning everybody We have this Load behind us on the flatbed And running into Winnipeg right now. I picked this up south of Minneapolis yesterday I'm running into Winnipeg now in Manitoba I'm gonna drop it off and then we're gonna rush back over to Kenora where we were the other day and grab another load It's gonna be a bit of another rush rush kind of day That's what every day seems to be and that's okay. At least it means we're busy, right? So let's get out there. I don't want to waste any time Before we can go anywhere. I don't want to be staring at this dust All day Swiffer Actually not a nap. I don't know why I just said that it's Swiffer It's the quicker picker upper or no wait, that's bounty bounty the quicker picker upper Swiffer the They're not so quicker picker upper. I don't know It works good in the truck anyway, this is their their pet model good for pet hair and said works great for dust Absolutely Oh, yeah, oh that feels good. Yeah, there we go. Oh, don't forget up here. Don't forget up here Everything I don't want to stare at dust all day. There we go Wonderful. Oh, no, I gotta wipe this down. Oh, no Oh, no, okay, put that away. This is the way you start the day Nice Let's roll You guys ready buckled in Saddled up first come first serve first there and first serve Wow 500 meters take the entrance to the ride on highway 100 Few friends I'm taking along with me they needed a ride we're at this rest area just into Ontario and We have an empty trailer Got unloaded real quick. I got there at oh when did I get there what 930 and I was out of there by 10? So took a half hour. There's no one in line. No one waiting first come first serve. I was first I got served We got a deal with all this construction traffic that's going through Ontario They're twinning this highway or making it into a four lane My last time I said that someone was telling me that they've never heard it called twinned before Maybe that's a prairie term because you know running through the hills the highways not really twinned because both Directions sort of take their own path to get around the hills on the prairies They're two identical highways side-by-side one going one way one going the other way we call it a twin highway Maybe that's just me. I just met four lane divided Truck is getting a little bit dirty But we're gonna wash it before we go home for the weekend or when we get home on the weekend And I'll be that so we got to go a little bit further down the road yet. Oh It's such a beautiful day. I just want to stand outside all day. You know, I'd love to be sitting on the beach right now Just picturing it in my head on a nice lake fresh water. It's not the ocean No, I don't like the ocean things in the ocean want to eat me. I don't like that No, it's a nice freshwater lake Yeah Beautiful waters not too cold Beautiful and we're back. Okay. That was a fun vacation Let's get back to work The sooner we get to canora the sooner we get loaded the sooner we get loaded the sooner we get to Brainerd The sooner we get to Brainerd sooner we get unloaded The sooner we get unloaded the sooner we get our reload the sooner we get our reload the sooner we go home You follow Today june here. Come on. I don't get paid by the hour Do they do it at night when traffic is but I got those straps over the top just to keep the tarp from flapping so that Those corners stay put and they don't rip Hopefully that'll work The guy like this is the same load I took earlier this week and that guy who loaded it loaded it higher and Center so I could just use two tarps right now. I had to use all three tarps so it was a little bit more work, but Now we're getting her done right it is a hot one out here Beautiful lake right over there. I just want to jump in so bad It's the corner of highway 17 and 71 This takes us down to Fort Francis and then we cross into international falls load and tarping it It's got myself soaked in sweat so I had to change all my poles It felt like I just jumped in the lake which gave me the idea. I should go jump in the lake I already feel like I jumped in the lake And there's the lake over there. I don't know how to get to it and I already changed So it's time to get going time to keep going that six I'm not even moving Karen. I'm talking to them now not you She gets jealous whoo drink some water Stay hydrated Start mullying down the road. I don't have a reload tomorrow yet once I get this unloaded I guess they're gonna see what time I get unloaded at because I won't be their first thing I'm thinking I'll probably make it down to Deer River tonight Sleep there again, and we'll see what time we get there if there's a line up and how fast we get unloaded And then we'll check in with the load gods and see if they have something for us or what's going on Let's go all soon arrows on terrible. Oh, sorry Ontario Soon arrows Ontario. I'm gonna stop in here for a coffee. You know what get about two trucks here When it's open you take you take the opportunity to be right back after these messages from caffeine So we made it here to Deer River, Minnesota But an hour and a half. This is my usual stop on my way down if I can't quite make it I ran out of time on my 14 hour clock. So once I'm in the US here You can only run 14 hours or Work 14 hours a day By law in Canada it's 16 hours, but since I'm in the US now I have to follow their rules So I started my day in the morning 14 hours later and tell me I got a stop. I still got lots of energy Walking around here at the truck stop. There's a bar and grill over there. It's already closed though Nothing to really do that. It's such a beautiful night out here. I just want to be outside Mosquitoes aren't that bad. I'm not getting eaten alive being out here So you'll notice that I parked opposite The other trucks Every other truck is pointed the other direction. There's a good reason for that It's because the guy to my right there or to the right there against my left the guy next to me Has an engine fan. He has his truck idling even though it's a perfect night And his engine fan keeps kicking on and off now mine does the same thing I left mine on right now To demonstrate, can you hear the engine fan? Just turned off you hear that That's what I mean when I say the engine fan that kicks on and off and on and off And it's really loud. We'll sit here and wait until mine kicks on again Sam I got my engine at the rear end of all the other trucks Purposely I came in this way Same way as them to begin and I realized that guy had his truck idling engine fan roaring on and off So I figure you know what I'll turn around so I don't have to listen to it Put my head over here And now I'll show you what I mean You hear the truck idling now, right? Just wait My engine fan will kick on soon Just imagine trying to sleep beside this We'll just have to wait Any second now See I could sleep beside this a nice steady noise Just the sound of an engine Puts me right to sleep. I actually like it But when the engine fan kicks on it startles me That's what I'm talking about. Leave my truck idling like keeps it on so at least since it's a nice night Sometimes there's a very good reason to keep the truck idling Some guys have a sleep apnea machine or other machines that help them breathe at night And if you turn the truck off all night with those machines running it'll kill the battery and you won't be able to Start your truck in the morning That's why I don't get too upset about it It is what it is However, if I have the option to change my situation I will like I did today when I pulled in here I had my nose pointed the other way right beside him I stopped there listen does the call this guy's got his truck Idling it might be for a good reason or it might just be wasting fuel and no reason at all But none of my business right so what I did as pull forward I turned around I came back in and They put my truck at the back of his truck So that all that noise is over there I Can still hear it from here still here every time it kicks on it still bugs me a little bit, but Like I said there could be a very good reason why he has his truck idling the guy beside me over here on this side Also has his truck idling, but it had a very low idle So he could be damaging his engine if he does that every night over a like long period of time over over years if you're gonna idle your truck for a Length of time you need to bump that idle up Put your cruise on and press the set button just to bump your idle up So that is that about between 800 and a thousand rpm at least look at your oil pressure your psi Make sure your psi gauge is up to Every truck is a little different or every brand is a little different every engine is a little different Gotta get that oil pressure up so that the top of your motor is being lubricated Otherwise all that oil just sits at the bottom It's very hard on the engine to idle at a low speed like that for a long time It's bad for any diesel engine to idle at all, but it's much much worse for it to idle at low idle I'm gonna bring it up to a healthier Healthier rpm when I add on my truck overnight like on the really cold nights during the winter when I have to Otherwise, I won't be able to start it again. I bring my idle up to 1,000 rpm And the way I do that is I press I turn my cruise on and I press set now in my truck when I press set It brings the rpm up to 800 and then I press resume and that brings the idle up If I keep pressing resume the idle will go up up up up and if I press set again The idle will go down down down and I keep it at about a thousand rpm. That's for this truck This truck's got a Cummins ISX in it every engines a little different But this truck in particular Peter Biltz and Kenworths they have obnoxiously loud engine fans It even bothers me inside my own truck I'm so self-conscious about it because when I have to idle my own truck I just show you I turn the engine fan on so it just stays on the whole time So at least it's a steady noise, right? So Depends I'm a little picky about sleeping I can sleep through anything this thing behind the truck idling over there I could sleep through it But my question would be why stay in a situation when I could be in a better situation All right, let's turn around and it's quieter this way.
